    Mongolian beef
    Annabelle R.

    We ordered catering from Dragon Terrace for a family gathering to celebrate Mother's Day, and selected several delectable items. We got an order of chow mein, shrimp fried rice, mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken, egg plant with fried tofu & string beans... and they threw in a tray of red bean sesame balls for free for paying cash. I tried everything, and all of the dishes were flavorful and filling. The most impressive dish and a favorite among the attendees was the egg plant with fried tofu & string beans. In fact, if we had to change one thing about our experience, it would be to get two orders of this dish!

    Chicken Fried Rice
    Cyn T.

    Dragon Terrace still makes a pretty good Egg Foo Yung. I like to order the one with shrimp. I also ordered the cashew Chicken dish off the lunch menu and an extra fried rice. The egg dish was the best. The fried rice was okay. I ordered the cashew Chicken WITHOUT bamboo shoots and water chestnuts and got a plate full of them :( It was super hot in the restaurant today and they had no fans. I had to eat and leave quickly. There food is usually better, because I know this I will return. Thank you

    Salted fish chicken fried rice Stir fried pea shoots
    haobin g.

    Hidden Gem in Hercules! Beautiful historic town and found a great restaurant. We went on Saturday night, and they are many ppl inside. My favorite is the salted fish chicken fried rice and stir fried pea shoots. It has a very authentic taishan flavor. Highly recommend the salt and pepper fish and tsingtao beer. This will be a bomb combination if you want something to eat with when you watch NBA or football :) The owners are really nice and friendly, and they serve you food fast. 餐厅味道很不错,广东人认证! 价格也很实惠,菜品分量很足。

    Too much sour sauce
    Lorissa W.

    I haven't been to this restaurant for more than 10 years. Today I gave them a try and got their fried tofu, green beans and eggplant dish which is a new item for 13.95. The vegetables were drowning in too much sour sauce. The sauce was unpleasant and there was way too much of it. I may come back and try another dish but this was a very bad dish and I do not recommend it. The staff is very nice and the restaurant looks clean so I had high hopes. Hopefully next time will be a better experience. I do want to try their 8 pack sesame balls which are very cheap for $8. They are miniature size fried sesame balls.

    Salted fish and chicken fried rice
    Janee T.

    I've been going to Dragon Terrace for at least 13 years. It's truly a Hercules staple! It's a 5/5 because they are the best in every aspect. 1. Honestly my favorite Chinese food ever. 2. The owners and the staff are kind and welcoming. Not to mention, have extremely fast service. The last time I went, the soup was ready within 5 minutes. Then the entrees and sides arrived while my party of 3 was still eating our soup. 3. The establishment is very clean, from the silverware, to the tables, to the floor. My too food recommendations: Peking duck (the best I've had) Whole crispy skin chicken (also sold as half) Salted fish and chicken fried rice Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce Those are my favorites, but I've loved everything I've ordered. Also wanted to mention they are family friendly, and good for large parties.

    General Chicken
    Carlos S.

    Been living in the area for so long and had yet to try Dragon Terrace. Ordered the following takeout items: Salt and Pepper chicken wings - a must try BBQ pork fried rice - flavorful General Chicken - good but sauce has a sweetness to it Salt and Pepper Ribs - love the kick with garlic bits Service was quick, food was ready and waiting to be picked up early even though they said 20mins.

    Lunch Special - Fried Flounder with General Sauce and Chow Mein
    Erick L.

    Solid option for Lunch in the area. The Lunch Special is a great deal, it comes with a cup of the Soup of the Day and Fried Won Ton appetizer. Today I had Chow Mein and Fried Flounder with General Sauce. The fish came out fresh out of the fryer with that General Sauce coating it. The sauce was good but the fish itself could have used a little seasoning. Chow Mein was better than standard. Service is quick but depending on what you order, some dishes take a little more time.

    Egg flower soup
    Eddie C.

    Dragon Terrace is my go to Chinese restaurant in the east bay area. Not only do they have authenric Cantonese food they make some great homestyle dishes from Hoisan, my home village. I can walk there from my house, giving me a chance to do a little but of exercise. The folks are friendly and took time to chat it up with my auntie about the old country! Dragon Terrace serves 2 dishes made with salted fish. These dishes are not easy to find at restaurants, not even in the bay area where so many Cantonese folks live. They were delicious; made like the way my mom used to make. Dragon Terrace also makes a decent beef noodle wonton. They use thin noodles, the way I like wonton soup to be made. The broth is flavorful, the beef could be a tad more tender and less marinated and the wontons would be perfect with a little more shrimp. Overall a great place for a meal. Next time? Salted eggs with pork

    I have been having some major deep fried whole rock cod with sweet and sour sauce withdrawals…read more Since our longtime family Chinese restaurant closed its doors after being open since basically forever, I have yet to find another place that comes remotely close to filling that void. Enter China Delights. This was our first time here and while it wasn't my beloved whole rock cod, their fried whole flounder with a soy based sauce was good enough to stand in its place. The fish was fried crispy enough that you could eat the fins while the flesh remained tender and moist. The sauce wasn't too bad either. I enjoyed that fish so much that I probably could have eaten the entire thing by myself without an ounce of shame. And then our waitress gave me the information I needed to hear: if I want whole rock cod, call the day before to let them know we're coming and they'll have it ready. HUGE WIN! You don't have to tell me twice. Another thing I was happy to see was a variety of mu shu options on the menu. We went with the pork and were not disappointed. And bc my husband had his own craving that needed to be handled, we ordered the half roasted duck. And that wasn't too bad either. The staff tonight were warm and attentive. Not once did we feel unattended to, but we also never felt rushed. Sometimes that balance gets lost and they did it well tonight. So is it possible that we may have stumbled onto the promise of a new family go to spot? Possibly. They've apparently been open for over 20 years already, and I hope they stay open for another 20 bc finding an old-school Chinese restaurant that still serves some of these classic dishes is getting harder and harder. Now I just need to remember to call the day before bc that whole rock cod and I have some unfinished business.

    This is a really good sit-down Chinese restaurant that's reminiscent of the ones my family would…read morereserve for big milestones such as wedding receptions, baptisms, and birthdays. I love that the restaurant is spacious and that there's an essence of coziness to the space. The service here is decent -- there have been multiple times where my party has had to ask for things because food or drinks were coming out too slow or were forgotten. There's definitely room for improvement in that arena. Food is delicious here, and I particularly love the sweet and sour pork! House fried rice and beef broccoli here is also amazing. Although I've had better honey walnut prawns, the ones here are still good (just pricey considering I prefer other places over it). Portion sizes are huge, even for sharing among 3-4 people. I recommend eating here with a fairly large group - you get your best deal when sharing the cost (and eating) together.

    I think the "3-star" Yelp average is correct for this place…read more On a Saturday evening, I drove up to Pinole just to try the Hung Tao Yee Won Ton Soup at China House. It was near 5pm, and the dining room was empty. They said most of the orders were for takeout and delivery. So I was seated right away, and they offered me hot tea. So I ordered the Hung Tao Yee Won Ton Soup, and also "Salt 'n Pepper Prawns" as listed under House Specialties on their menu. For $15.95, it's a huge bowl of soup. It could be enough for 2-3 people. Hung Tao Yee Won Ton Soup is fried won ton in thicken egg drop soup. I added pepper and a splash of soy sauce, and it was perfect. Grade (4/5). However, the Salt 'n Pepper Prawns were not perfect. They were served deep fried, with jalapeño pepper slices. I asked for "in-shell." So they were deep fried with the shell still on. That usually means they'll have more flavor. These prawns were mushy and had a slightly fishy aftertaste. This suggests that they were frozen and not fresh. China House didn't season them enough to mask the off-taste. Other restaurants add a coarse salt and maybe a dipping sauce. The batter coating tasted fine, but the prawn itself wasn't good. Grade (2/5). Service was prompt and attentive. Restroom- 1 Women's restroom, and 1 All Gender. China House has a big screen TV, and they were showing a basketball game ( NY vs Houston). Free off-street parking lot

We ordered chicken satay to start (comes with a nice helping of peanut sauce and cucumber salad), a pad Thai for the table with tofu, and a few lunch plates including the yellow curry, pad krapow, and spicy eggplant.
